Lownsdale Composes Original Music for Event. Two weeks from tomorrow evening the first performance of Von Suppe's military opera, "Fatlnltza" will take place at the Marquam Theater, under the direction of "William H. Boyer, and many people are already making arrangements to keep the evening free so that they may be present on that occasion. Three performances will be given in all. MaVch 7, 8 and 9. The painting of the scenery, the costuming, etc., are being looked after by Manager George L. Baker, of Baker's Theater, and the presentation of the opera will be first class in overy particular on a par with the high-grade productions which have made Mr. Baker's name known among theater-goers all over the Northwest. It will also be a society event, and many out-of-town people are already enquiring when the tickets are to. go on sale. To miss this event will be to miss one of the best musical offerings ever given here. The work of the chorus will be far above that presented by ordinary musical com edy people. Among the principals who are to take part are: Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Mrs. "Walter Reed, Millard O. Lownsdale. J. "W. Belcher, Louis P. Bruce, Robert Rountrec, S. Stuart McGulre. Rea Irvln, Milton Frohman, Miss Marion Peters and Miss Dot Bernard. Frederick Esmelton is stage manager. And there are others. But thejr names are locked In the secret bureau of Manager Baker, of which he alone holds the key. A rumor was current last week that Mr. Baker was negotiating with Edouard de Reszke to play in a part that had hpen specially written for the Port land performance of "Fatlnltza,". and i musical enthusiast Immediately 'phoned Mr. Baker. "Is it true that you have en gaged De Reszke for 'Fatlnltza?' asked the sweet soprano voice. At least, these phone transmitter, and they got into Mr.' taKers ear in mis snapo: . is it true-urr-urr tnat you nave en Irajred the rest 8f it for 'Fat-br-r-r-r gllck Jg-Ug?" "Choctaw," murmured Mr. Baker, and it was only after an elaborate explanation that It dawned upon him that he was sus pected of having engaged the great Edouard do Reszke, whose brother Jean hskfd $r.000 a night as his slnjrlng fee from Manager Conrled, and didn't get it Mr. Baker strenuously denied the rumor, and these past few days has been kept busy stating that Portland singers are good enough for -him. The rehearsals last week both for prin cipals and chorus have shown satisfactory results, "but to hae -everything up to pro fessional excellence will reqoulre harder work yet and unremitting attention to the Instructions of both Mr. Boyer and Mr. Esmelton. The principal male part In the opera "Fatlnltza" is that of Count Timofey Kantchukoff. Impersonated by Millard O. Lownsdale, and he can be trusted to give a performance equal to that of a profes slonal. Many professionals on the stage today do not possess tho gifted voice of this favorite Oregon singer, nor his natu ral talent for acting. Mr. Lownsdale's voice Is a pure basso cantante that rar est of voices, the singing bass. Thero Is a peculiar anJ indefinable quality of sympathy and richness In the basso can tante that Is to be found in no other voice, and Mr. Lownsdale possesses this quality in a remarkable degree. But the charm of his singing Is In his purity and richness of tone, and lies In the fact that he never forgets virility, manliness and vigor. No matter how delicate the shad lng of his music may be. it is never ef feminate. It Is this thrilling fervor and Oignlty that occasions the remark often heard: "I'd go miles to hear Lownsdale sing." Mr. Lownsdale. whoso artistic character work was the great feature of the pro Curtlort of "Fatlnltza" In January, 1BS3, will Interpolate at the forthcoming per formances a portion of a scene, the words and music of -which were written by himself. There Is little In the part of General Kantchukoff, as originally written, and to meet the requests of many friends who listened to the opera at the former presentation. Mr. Lownsdale has written a Tomanza and recitatives to be introduced In the third act. This will be an aTtracuve noveuy, ana wnue tne gen cral public will have pleasant antlclpa ik'ns of it. musicians will be specially interested when they learn of the pro posed Interpolation. The opinion has often been expressed that Mr. Lownsdale's In terpretatlon of the character of General Kantchukoff cannot be excelled In any hands, and the added attraction of his romantic soene will make his performance or the role one to be remembered. A is wll known. Mr. Lownsdale Is fruitgrower, and can seldom be prevailed urn to sing in public. When the operatic concert was recently given at the Empire Theater, Mr. Lownsdale was suffering frm an attack of la grippe and was not satisfied with his singing on that occa sion It Is because of this dissatisfaction and of his determination to show that farming and singing are not necessarily antagonistic, that Mr. Lowiwdale has con- at ted to anpeur In his great character or General Kantchukoff. In reply to the urgent demands or his friends. Rea Irvln has consented to play tho part of MuMapha, keeper of the harem and of Izzet Pasha's four wives. The part calls for lively comedy work of the readiest kind, and Mr. Irvln can ne trusted to respond. As Izzet Pasha, ii-en nouniree is going to make a hit It is also a groat comedy part and Mr. Rountree Is so funny at rehearsals that the other principals are often made help less with laughter. He has a pleasing natural toner voice. BROWN PARK BAND. Organizing for the Season With Forty Musicians. Fifty concerts with 40 musicians In the band, a change to the international pitch end with better music than ever, form s-me of the ambitions this year of Brawn's Park Band that will soon com mence operations for the season. Band master Charles L Brown and Park Com mjssloner J. D. Meyer will start early Ation Society Concert Soloists: Mrs. W. A. T. Bushong; and" E. M. Courtienne. "Fatinitza" Military Opera, with M.C Lownsdale as Count Kantchukoff. Notes. THE GENERAL IN MILLARD O. next month to try to collect subscriptions amounting to J7000. the sum necessary to pay the expenses of the band for the en tire season of free concerts for the people. The composition of the band this year will be as follows: One piccolo, one con cert flute, one oboe, one E flat clarinet eight B flat clarinets, one alto clarinet one bass clarinet one; bassoon, four saxo phones, five B-flat cornets, four French j horns, three trombones, two baritones, one E-flat bass, two double B-flat basses, i one side drum, one bass drum, one tyro- pan I. Brown's band this year Is modelled after Sousa's band, and has the same In struments as those used by the great two- step king except his famous contra-bas-soon valued for Its power to deepen tone color. The decision to adopt the low con cert or International pitch means that Brown's band is to swing In line with the great bands of this country that ten years ago adopted thla pitch, which gives about 335 vibrations to the second. In popular parlance, with the International pitch the musicians win find the music easier to play, and can better Increase tone qual ity and color. "When the band was organized last year. all that Bandmaster Brown tried to do was to get the men toj)lay well together, and he succeeded beyond his most san guine expectations. The band played ex cellently In concerted music, and excelled in soft passages, accents, pianos, fortes and crescendOs, for 32 musicians. But musical experts noticed that in tne line of improvement the band would h!ve to get more musicians, -and work to better effects In expression, leading In crescen- dos to a stirring, soul-pulsing fortissimo. "With the band increased to 40 musicians, the change in pitch, the fact that most of the men played together all last season, and the developed strength in the bass section, it is an admitted fact that brown's Park Band will be the premier band over a wldo section o territory during the ensuing season. It will bo a band worth the financial support of the people of Portland, and when Messrs. Brown and Meyer start on their work of obtaining the subscriptions from business men and all classes of citizens generally, the response ought to be a liberal one. It Is remarkable, that although park concerts were given by Brown's band last year on both sides of the river al ternately, about nine-tenths of the sub scriptions came from the people on this side of the river. The great residential sections of the East Side, especially around Hawthorne and Holladay Parks where many of the concerts were given, gave almost no response when asked for subscriptions. This year there will be two concerts alternately on both sides of the river, with the usual Sunday-nf tor noon concerts at the City Park. So peo ple on the East Side ought to bear their share of the expense. The educative value of these concerts to Talse the stand ard of music among the people, and afford a harmless. Innocent means of recreation when the work day Is over, cannot be over estimated. At last year's concerts many family parties attended throughout the season, and at the Sunday afternoon concerts Mayor Williams was a regular visitor. The Park Commission this year has de elded to subscribe H000 as its share. That only leaves JKXXj to collect throughout the city. There ought to be enough civic pride, and there Is, to give Portland brass band second to none on the Pacific Coast Think about the amount of your subscription now. Notes.
